Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur headed towards the lazy looking scorpion queen. She noticed his presence a long time ago, but she lacked the strength to move on and call upon him.

"Finally you recalled you have a scorpion queen," she welcomed him with a tired tone and semi-closed eyes. "I want to get into the tattoo to get some rest. I feel my evolution time is ticking closer each minute."

"I have a better option," he said, before continuing his way towards the portal as he added, "come inside is much better than my tattoo."

"Sigh, I tried to enter there but the noises just kept me distracted."

Arthur knew what she was talking about, and he didn't even slow down his flying speed as he said:

"You know of a place inside where things are quite calm, don't you?"

"Oh! Will you take me there and let all those weaklings do a massage for me? I like it!"

Arthur paused for real this time, turned to give her a silent long glance until he entered the portal. she felt she said something wrong amidst her excitement, yet she knew Arthur wouldn't be so mean and cruel to prevent her from going there.

And so she followed.

"I will take you to my tattoo first, resist the urge to sleep so you can sleep there and have your… massage."

She felt his mocking tone and decided to ignore it. instigating his anger at this moment would make her lose this massage session and any future ones as well.

The next moment she entered into her tattoo while he glanced silently over the portal here. it was one of the many he snatched, easily missed. "Can you memorize this place for me, please?" he asked for help.

"Ding! Sure, leave it to me."

"Good," he then examined the entire garden. This place started to look more complicated each time he came back to it. "Sigh, I need someone to map out this place for me," he muttered as he, the owner himself, was feeling lost for a moment there.

"Here you are," he muttered before moving himself instantly to appear inside the castle. The moment he appeared everyone around were given a scare, then a startle, before kneeling down one by one to him.

"Cool, you learnt your lesson well," he praised, before waving his arm while muttering, "come forth."

"Wow, I'm really here, hehehe."

The moment she appeared, he noticed the look of scare over the faces of these youths got more dignified. He simply glanced at all that and didn't speak, while selecting a place to move towards and vanished instantly from the place.

"Hehehe, it's you and me now. keep kneeling to me, while some of you come to rub my back. Where is Antony? I liked the massage he gave to me last time."

The moment he vanished she started to live her rule as their queen. The kids there were so scared of her, much more than Arthur. Any request she asked for was answered without pause!

As for Arthur, he appeared the next moment in front of the portal leading to the star map.

"I can make changes to the star map?"

"Ding! The star map is a heavenly treasure blessed by the will of many worlds. it's not used to link small pocket worlds together, it has a far more important role to play than that."

"And this role is?"

"Ding! Weren't you bothered by the problem of leaving this place when heading to your academy?"

The question of the system made Arthur's mind freeze for a moment. this was his deepest desire, to not be severed from here. "Don't tell me this can help?"

"Ding! It can! Instead of betting and begging others to agree to come here every now and then, make your presence here at any time an undeniable fact!"

"Oho, I like it! but won't that instigate some anger and hostility? Will the academy agree on me leading here?"

"Ding! You forgot the most important fact; all things here belonged to you. The people, the city, the warriors; even the enemies are now linked to you and you alone. Who can deny an emperor the right to rule his own empire? no one!"

Arthur began to see his dream coming true. He was worried, terribly worried about the fate of things he was building here after returning to the academy.

And to some extent that made him be less bold and more lenient towards certain things. However, with what the system just offered right now, his mindset changed.

"This is my city, my empire, and my world! I won't let anyone deny it from me!" he declared his new resolve out loud, before adding:

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Ding! It's a long process, but at least you have the needed requirements for that."

"Which are?"

"Ding! Home, a middle portal, and a huge source of energy."

"Hmm…" he stood silent there for a moment before adding, "I know home, and middle portal, but the huge source of energy… do you mean these pillars?" he asked.

"Ding! The pillars can do, yet you have a better source."

"What?"

"Ding! The piece of bone you asked your master for!"

The eyes of Arthur shone as he hurried to say:

"I planned for it to be buried here or back in my city. I thought it would help things here or back there to grow."

"Ding! I have a better proposition. When your master presents the bone, ask him to separate it into three parts."

"One for here, one for the city, and the last one… for the star map perhaps?"

"Ding! Sure, it will be for it."

"Interesting…" he muttered before glancing at the portal linked to the star map in front of him before adding, "it sounds like a nice plan."

"Ding! It's a perfect plan. The star map isn't accessible to anyone except those you will authorize. It will be your secret, not found anywhere, can't be pry over by anyone, and you can't even lose it. all you need to do is to prepare this source of energy and the moment you put it there; this whole treasure will be yours."
